Paris Jackson is celebrating a win in her legal battle with the executors of her late father Michael Jackson’s estate.
According to court documents obtained by Us Weekly, a judge issued multiple rulings including one that there should not be any unauthorised bonus payments made to executors’ attorneys.
In addition, the judge ordered that some 2018 bonus payments must be returned to the estate.
“Ms Jackson’s objection to the $625,000 (£462,000) of bonus payments made in the second six months of 2018 is sustained,” the judge stated.
“The bonus payments are not approved; they are disallowed. The payments shall be returned to the estate.”
Court documents also revealed that Paris is “entitled to an award of reasonable attorneys’ fees for bringing her motion”.
A spokesperson for Paris released a statement explaining what the decisions meant.
“Paris has always been focused on what’s best for her family, and this ruling is a massive win for them,” the statement read.
“After years of delay, the Jackson family will finally get the transparency and accountability measures Paris has fought for. The Jackson Estate is supposed to be a prudent, fiscally responsible entity that supports the Jackson family.”
The judge also acknowledged the positive work the executors have done ever since Michael died at the age of 50 in June 2009.
